I used a small hammer to tap a jewelers screwdriver and sometimes I had to pull the pin with a small pair of pliers as some of the pins were quite tight.

Place the watch sideways on a small pile of paper or something soft over a hard surface to stop it being scratched.I used a small hammer to tap a jewelers screwdriver and sometimes I had to pull the pin with a small pair of pliers as some of the pins were quite tight.

Start by looking at the inside of the watchband, there should be a arrow pointing up/down. Take a pin and put it in on the side that shows the arrow going down. Take a hammer and GENTLY tapp the pin. The pin should push out a pin in the band. Do this as many times as you have to for the size you desire, and then put the pin in the same derection as you tapped the pin out. Usually you will also see a **** on the side youn DON'T want to tap out. If you still; have a problem don;'t hesitate to write me, and I will be glad to take you step by step with this. Good Luck!!

Thank you for contacting FixYa,
You can contact Kenneth Cole for a replacement band but I am afraid the band is probably going to be alot more then the $65 for the clasp. I would honestly just replace the clasp unless the band is worn in which case I would do the band.
Sorry.

I found a pushpin small enough to fit down into the hole and was able to push out the pin in the band far enough to get a hold of it with a pair of pliers and pull it out. Repman was right, they are in very tight and it takes some "elbow grease" to get them out.
